Total creep


Flickr tells me when someone adds a photo of mine in their favorites. Most of the time it's something I took of Heylove looking cute and someone is saving cute dog pictures so they can have a little eye candy for their very bad case of the Mondays. Rarer is the lady adding my pregnant pictures as her favorites. I don't know, maybe we're the same week pregnant or she is obsessed with pregnants? That doesn't bother me too much. Anyway, every once in a while a total creep adds one of my pregnancy pictures. So I check out their photostream and look up their other favorites. This guy just loves to take pictures of random women. He also adds public pictures of other random women in his favorites. I'm a bit creeped out by this, so I blocked him.

Cobb


Someone gave me a copy of an issue of Everyday Food. I love me some Martha and I always shy away from buying this magazine because it's pretty meaty. But a free copy? I'm down for it. So I made three salads out of it so far. One white bean and zucchini salad, an herbed pasta salad and last night I made this cobb salad using fake meats. Mmm! It came out pretty good. The chicken was this morningstar stuff I got at Safeway. I liked it, but I think I like Quorn better.

There are a couple of movies I want to see this weekend. Tonight I really want to catch Little Miss Sunshine. I'm also going to try to catch Quinceanera sometime on Saturday. Then there's this Cesar Chavez thing happening at the California Stage, too. But that's playing until the 8th, so I'm going to wait on that.

I have a doctor appointment today (I have to see them every 2 weeks now), and I'm going to talk to them about my leave. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to be in a stiff office chair for 8 hours a day. It's murder on my back. Plus, it's been a rather high stress environment lately. I desperately need time off.

Ringy dingy


Right now I'm eligible for a phone upgrade from Cingular. Since this only happens like once every two years, I feel like I need to get the best, baddest phone out there so that I don't get stuck with phone envy sometime next year. Currently I have a little Nokia candybar phone. I forget the model, but it's not very flashy. It has a Knight Rider ring on it and a clock, but that's about as fancy as it gets. What really bugs me is that it's so tiny. I feel like a giant every time I use it. Everyone has the Razr now, so I kind of don't want that, but I do like flip phones...
What I really want is a Treo. I already have a Palm organizer, which I use contstantly, so to combine it with my phone sounds like a good plan, right? Sigh. I'm still trying to talk Leon into it, but he doesn't think I need a phone with all the functionality that the Treo has. I say, let me find a way to use it! It has a camera, it has a bunch of Palm applications that I already use: calendar, notepad, documents to go, photo organizer. I really don't mind if I don't get on the internet with it (which costs extra because you need a data plan). I just want both my organizer and phone to unite and save room in my purse.

32 weeks


Here's me at 32 weeks and everyone else on the flickr stroll.

Mang. Braxton Hicks contractions were bugging yesterday. I had a total false labor. They started coming in around 11 am and went pretty regularly through 11 last night even after downing 3 big glasses of water. At one point, they were happening every 2-3 minutes and lasting 30-45 seconds each. It was kind of scary, but didn't hurt at all. I figured if I was really in labor, I'd wake up in the middle of the night. Everything turned out okay. I feel fine today and baby is bumping arund inside like normal. I just feel like I've got a sack of moving rocks inside my abdomen. Right now baby Neon feels like he's all knees and elbows.

Aww, don't forget about this baby:


Heylove is so funny. We feed her really good food, which she likes, but she only is interested in eating it if we make her work for it. If her breakfast time ritual doesn't include a barrage of tricks, waiting and recall excercises, she really doesn't want anything to do with her bowl. This dog is hooked on the big sell. This morning, I didn't feel like trying too hard, so she just left the food in the bowl. For a little squirt, she sure has a strong work ethic.
